This is an original scarce William Henry Jackson photograph chromolithograph of “Yamapi” A Runner for Chief Ouray, a Native American chief of the Tabeguache "Uncompahgre" band of the Ute tribe of western Colorado, circa 1880. Published by Detroit Publishing whose chromolithos have 11 color separations. These chromolithos were made from hand carved stones from Bavaria and each color represents a different strike on a stone. Chromolithography represents the very highest degree of printing. W. H. Jackson's photographs influenced the development and perception of the Western United States probably more than any other photographer. He toured with Hayden in the early 1880s and his images of the Yellowstone Park area were sent to Congress. Jackson's photographs, along with Thomas Moran's paintings, influenced Congress in establishing Yellowstone National Park. The photograph sits in a green and gilt colored matted frame, no damage or marring is noted to either, in overall good condition. Visible image measures 7"L x 3.5"W, frame 10.25"L x 6.75"W
